Samantha Eastburn

Samantha was born and raised in the heart of Arizona and followed her childhood dreams to move out here to San Diego. She grew up playing volleyball in high school and at the collegiate level, as well as traveling to the Arizona Lakes on weekends performing water sports with her family. Samantha and her Lab mix Jack moved to SD after graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor's of Tourism Development and Management. She then fell in love with Southern California's Ocean and all that it provides. She has been teaching Stand Up Paddle Boarding in SD for over a year now, and created a SUP Program where owners can paddle with their dogs. Today, her passion of animals and water sports have led her to The SUP Connection where she teaches Pup Paddle Boarding and lessons.
